Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer leaves Trump cabinet, Keith Sonderling takes over
White House said Keith Sonderling will lead the Labor Department as Chavez-DeRemer leaves after allegations of misconduct and workplace complaints.
- Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer announced her resignation Monday to enter the private sector. White House communications director Steven Cheung said Keith Sonderling will serve as Acting Secretary of the Department of Labor.
- Chavez-DeRemer resigned following allegations of misconduct, including reports of workplace abuse, an affair with a subordinate, and alcohol use. Inquiries into complaints have forced out other labor agency officials.
- Staff members filed civil rights complaints alleging a hostile work environment under her leadership. Inquiries into her conduct began surfacing in January, including departure of her former chief and deputy chief of staff.
- Chavez-DeRemer is the third Cabinet member to leave the Administration in recent weeks. President Donald Trump previously fired Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in March and ousted Attorney General Pam Bondi earlier this month.
- Cheung stated she has done a "phenomenal job in her role by protecting American workers, enacting fair labor practices, and helping Americans gain additional skills to improve their lives." The praise contrasts sharply with the misconduct allegations.
